tLA.CKBURN, AUGUST' SO. (FRoNI OUR OWN CoRREStOgDENT.) You complain that . I do not give you information of the state of the poor, in this distrint,,,as frequently , 'as, you wish, but my time is so much oceitpied,in the affairs of the poor, thatTneglect my own buirinesa, to rey'personal loss - and inconvenience. Indeed, I, atn almost teased and perplexed to ,'death, red these "tit cumstances must apologize for my apparent neglect. The poor have been again visited, from house to house;: and, although the weavers have'more work, yet such is the-shamefullY law Price paid for weaving, that they cannot earn sufficient money to,aupporl , thentselve: - ; and families. .They are moat.-wretchedly destitute of bedding anti clothing, with Out there being. the le .t proved of obtaining _them by their own industry. A weaver of the, beat sort of goods made hire, cannot earninfitll work more thin is 6d, rsr 65.; but the average earnings of weavers ill full work, is from 38. 6d. to 4s. if they_ get paid ; for unless the manufacturer be pleased with the work, 1m takes • oft Btl. or 6cl. under pretence that the piem is badly woven, and it not tin frequently happens that he bales (as the term is called) every piece of gods' brought into his • warehouse, in - discriminatek . v—.;-surely they cannot all be badly wrought. This systerti is . a most grievous oppression to the poor half-far:iislied weavers ; and, together with the low ,rate. , paid for . weaving ,calicoes, calls :loudly for Par lii!;rnentary interference.

The poor bear, and have borne, their sufferings, with exemplary,patience ; and the power-loom breakers see the folly of their misguided insubordination. S. P.

We perceive, by the last number we received of The cork SouMern Reporter, that sortie persons have it in coO temidation to introduce what is termed a modified system of Poor Lawt into that part of the country. What the Editor of our Cork Contemporary understands by an ap plication of the Poor Laws, in a modified way, to the. exi gencies.of Ireland, he has lett to his readers to divine. Had the measure originated with us, 'it would be less ab surd, because its object would be to impose upon our numerous absentee proprietors, a share of the burden, from which their residence elsewhere at present exempts theM. The judicious remark, " the poor support the poor," is true to its. fullest extent in the county of Kilkenny; belt with all these reasons to incline our acceding to a measure, which would divide the onus, and impose upon the Lords of the soil as a duty, what cannot be extorted al a benevolence, ,we put our face completely Against the propriety of Petitioning Parliament for the existing Poor Laws, no matter how modified they may be. If the national character .is deteriorated by beggary ,—and that it is, no man will deny—any system calcula ted to promote mendicancy, ought to he discouraged. Pub lic later-houses, for the reception of the blind and ltune, however benevolent in their object, have never failed to be attended with 'consequencecinjurions to the moral cha racter of the poor classes. The sympathy of the wealthy can never disregard sufferers whose destitution imme diately strikes the senses; and any judicious method, such as we believe the above to be, adopted for their mainte nance, will only hold forth temptations to idleness: In England, the oppressive as well as the deMoralizing ten dency of the porir laws is scarcely denied, even, by their warmeit 'advocates; and although, in his evidence before •the Lords Committee Mr. Ninimo has spoken of the indus- Arians habits of the iris h as they deserved, and as he had an excellent opportunity 'of knowing, while engaged in the western part of the county of Mayo with the public works carrying on there, we,,fear that many ef—theie „timid scarcely resist, the seAuctive stimulus of the poor laws to habits of inirolinee. We trust, therefore, that so obnoxious meatorte will tie 1,,l uotiolied; and that instead of a legal asiitttiensni4 the landed Proprietors and, gentry will exert xhemseirrs to create means .of employment for the labour ing alumni, Withoot, extinguishing 'that sense of shame which prevents many from becoming beggars by profession, or destroying that spirit of industry by which they will he • serviceable and not, barthcir, o o m to the indi.Pentient.'

It is composed of twenty-five vessels, twenty-two of which are ships of war, Kna have 4,000 men on hoard. The arrival of Luta Cochrane, is no longer doubtful. It is said he. did not touch at Greece; but that he received at sea, and near Sicily, the instructions of the Greek Govern ment, sent to him by a schooner, and that he immediately proceeded to the coast of Egypt, which he intends, it seems, to select for the princ i pal theatre of his military operations. It is stated that Ibrahim has been defeated at Armiro and et Nissi, where he must have lost in the first from 6 to 800 men, and froin the second 2,200. It is also said that the Seraskier was defeated at Livadia. Letters from Patras and Prevesa state as certain the arrival at Modon of the Turco-Egyptian fleet of 22 or 26 ships of war and transports, coming from Alexandria, and bringing 4,000 moo of regular troops. It appears that Ibrahim, after his defeat at Nissi, had retired to Navarino, others say to Modon, in order to concert with the Turkish Admiral on his arrival. . . (From the Journal des Debals.) PARIS, AUG. 29.—The Journal of the Minister of Foreign Affairs contains the following article, which appears very remarkable to us. No where have we seen a more terrific' picture of the miaeries of Spain. How melancholy it is to think that such is the result of . the victories and of the wisdom of the Dauphin; and to know that things have come to such a Vass that the 'Minister hes given up the hopes of being able any longer to conneal the `truth as to the state of this unfortunate nation. MADRID, AUG. 17.—The Grand Council has been held but the Foreign Ministers were not present: The follow• ing is the result, according to report. The Finance Mi• nister made it evident that the Government had already exhausted all the resources which he' knew of, for procuring funds for this year, and according to the information re ceived from the various intendants, it could not he expected that the people, whatever violence might be used, would be able to pay the whole of the taxes. The inhabitants of the country were reduced to a frightful state of misery, a great part of them, this year not. possessing seed corn ; some in consequence of poverty, and others in consequence of the iMportation of foreign corn; which has taken place in Andalusia and Catalonia, either openly or by smuggling, almost every day for the last year, and has so reduced the price of Spanish corn, that the sale of what wheat has been grown will not be sufficient to pay the taxes. He declared afterwards that famine was beginning to be felt, and that the cry of despair had been raised in many villages and country towns, and would soon be heard in the large towns, if the Goverunient did not. speedily take energetic and bene volent measures. His Excellency added, that the obstinate refusal of all the Governments and all the capitalists to ad vance money on loan to Spain, on any conditions, left no pos sibility of adopting that measure; that it could not, there fore, be thought of to send to Portugal or to the frontiers, either an army of observation or activity, for the Govern ment had not a Maravede to dispose of, and he foresaw that the deficiency this year would he double that of last year. The Minister of War drew a most afflicting picture of the state of the army, and proved that the number of Men under arms was much less than was supposed. The greater part of the regiments of the line were only frame work, which the penury of the treasury did not allow of being completed ; that the existing regiments could not be confided in, for it would be asking a miracle to ask faith fulness from soldiers who were neither paid nor clothed, and were all discontented in the highest degree. M. Zam brona added, that many of the soldiers had served to the end of their time, and that they murmured because they were not discharged. The Royal Guards were, he said, the only troops well equipped' and armed ; that they only amounted to 12,000 men in all, and could not be disposed, as they were destined for the service of the capital and Royal Family ; and if thin were not all, the officers, ex cept about 20, were all children, and therefore the guards would be of no use. The serjeants and Corporals were not yet acquainted with their business, and the soldiers were much divided 'in their opinions. He concluded by saying, that to send .an army to Portugal, all the troops of the kingdom must be sent, leaving the fortresses undefended, and the nation exposed to a coup de niain from the Colombians,"or any other enemy. Even if France should consent to ,supply more auxiliary troops, they could not be accepted, because they, would be a bur den on the people, who had nothing to feed, much less to pay them. If they were forced on the people, they would only cause irritation, and the people might turn their arms against the allies of their country. The Minister of Ma rine followed, and stated, that vessels, three-fourths built at Ferrol and Carthagenit, were perishing in the dock-yards for want of sails and stores. The .cont actors, despairing of being paid the sums due to them, had refused to supply any more stores or materials. The vessels already. begun were not likely to be completed, and would most probably ", before they were made ready for sea. lie also. stated, that the Colombian and Buenoi Ayres squadrons, and the English vessels, their allies, were continually off the coast, Calomarda e , 3 1 1 : 1 ‘ 4 craste t ti v .i r e e r ta t i i i ef a orw s l u i n b i j s e t v e t r n o f f uneasiness to . t its internal resources spoke generally the hopes Government might have forms should he. effected i . e Govern.. re ttf ported this view; but s o tt o i t d, a t l b l a e t tht l ! t l relati e n . ns fat o u t ) S r t r i eme s dy t it t ig , n,tiantyheeviinist,enatnietai the T.lll State , when i d I;ifantad" suP .

King declaring war against Portugal, and that he Intended to wait, in order to see what measures he ought to adopt to wards that Goveinment arid thoSe of his Allies. In con sequence, of the orders given by his Maj esty, to the Captains- General of the Provinces adjoining Portugal, the greater part of the Portugiiese Royalists, who had fled into Spain, have already'retiirned intit Portugal, and those who are not able to return to Portugal will soon leave our territory. According to letters from Madrid of the 22d of August, the Duke del Infantado will be replaced by the Duke de San Carlos, who is returning froth Russia by Paris for Spain. M. de Mttteriiieh has as great a rage for Congresses as Prince nohenlohe has for miracles. It is With pain that he sees the other Cabinets of Europe gradually Withdraw ing themselves from his direction. In vain has he desired to have a Congress for the affairs of Russia, for the affairs of Brazil, for the affairs of Portugal; England, which thinks proper to have an existence and an opinion of her own, has suffered M. the Metternich to multiply his notes and his diplomatic insinuations, without troubling her se riously with them for a single moment. Now that the Austrian Prince collects around him in his chateau of Johannisberg all his petty diplomatists in his train ; he is anxious to have it believed that the Duke 'of Wellington is coming to engross the attention of his Court. But while the Journals in his pay thus bring the Duke of 'Wellington on his voyage, the Duke, at his ease, in his chateau of Strathfieldspay, indulges, like his noble brother, in the pleasures of fiskiing and hunting, receives the visits of his friends, and appears more disposed to ex pect 'that the Diplomatic Congress of Johannisberg will come to him to Strathfield, and pay them, than that he should cross the Rhine to go to it. The Prince 'Met. terriich will no doubt indetyinify himself for this disdain, by yeparing some petty' v4ation for some petty German Potentate, until at lentctlwthis 'people of sovereigns will recollect that, like.the Great Powers, they toohavo a right to be masters in tLeir own states. • SPAIN. The following ie,extraeted from 'the. Madrid Gazelle :) OFFICIAL • ARTICLE. The King our Lord has been pleased to address to his First. Secretary of State and despatch the following decree : " The promulgation of a: representative system of Go vernment in Portugal„ might have affected public tranquil lity in another country, its neighbour, which, scarcely free from revolution, might not have been generally animated by the purest loyalty. But in Spain few have dared to cherish in obscurity hopes of seeing the ancient form of Government changed; for public opinion has declared it self in so decided a manner, that no one can have the har dihood to belie it. This new proof of the fidelity of my vassals obliges me to manifest to them my sentiments, which are directed to the preservation of their religion and their laws. With these the name of Spain was always glorious, and without them we can only have in their place demoralization and anarchy, as experience has taught us. " Be the circumstances of other countries what they may, we will govern ourselves according to ours; and I, as the father of my.people, have chosen rather to listen to the humble voice of an immense majority of vassals, who are faithful and useful to the country, than to the auda eious clamours of a small and disorderly faction, desirous perhaps, of renewing scenes which I do. not wish to recoL lect. - - - " I have already published, on the 19th of April, 1825, my Royal Decree, in which, convinced that our ancient legislation is the fittest for maintaining the purity of our religion, and the mutual rights of a paternal King and a faithful vassalage—the, best adapted to our customs and our education—l thought proper to promise to my sub jects, that I never would make any alteration in the legal form of my Government, nor would permit the establish ment of Chanibers,or any other institutions ' whatever might sbe their' denomination. It only remains me to usaiire all the vassals of toy dominions, that. I will render n doe return to theit loyalty, byeausing to be executed the laws, which punish solely,. the infractors, and by protecting all who obey them ; and that, desirous of seeing all Spaniards united, in opinion ,and in will, 1:shall dispense protection to all who obpy the laws, and will be inflexible with all who dare to dictate laws to their country. . " Wherefore I have resolved, that the before-mentioned decree shall again be distributed to the authorities and tri bunals of the kingdom, urging on the Magistrates the due ad ministration of justice, which is the greatest security for the happiness of the people, and the best recompense for their fidelity. You will take notice of this decree, and make the necessary arrangements for its publication and execution. (Signed by the Royal Sign Manual.) " In the Palace, August lb, 1826.

His MAJESTY will hold a Council this day at Windsor, which will be attended by all the Cabinet Ministers within reach. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Mr. PEEL, left town this morning for Windsor, and Mr. CANNING will proceed thither also this forenoon, from Salthill, where he slept last night. , It is confidently stated, that his MAJESTY'S Ministers have determined to call Parliament together for the despatch of public business, and the 14th November is the day mentioned for the opening of the Session. It is likewise rumoured, that at the Council this day, the importation of Foreign Oats, Beans, and Peas, will be allowed ; and that the Order for this re laxation of the Corn Regulations, will appear in to night's or Tuesday's Gazette. We received last night the French Papers of Tues day, and the Etoile of Wednesday morning. We find in them much interesting matter, and therefore give long extracts in another column. The, accounts from Greece are of etich a conflicting character that it is impossible to trace the truth in the mass of communications from that quarter. The letter which IBRAHIM, by the Grace of God, Commander of Candle and the Morea, Admiral of the Egyptian Fleet, addressed to the son of PETRO BEY, the Prin- cipal Chief of the Mainotes, would lead us to suspect that the son of the PACHA of EGYPT has anticipated his father's intentions of assuming his independence of the Porte. The events at Constantinople have afforded a most favourable opportunity for the accomplishment of this object, and we have little doubt that the enter prising Egyptian Chief will avail himself of it; more particularly, too, as it,appears that Lord COCHRANE has proceeded at once to Alexandria for the purpose, as it may be fairly concluded after the language of his address, to detach Egypt from its allegiance to the Porte. We predict that events of great importance are likely to take place in that part of the world. The immediate object of Initit!Ws letter was to induce M A VRONIECHAL, with all his Primates, to join him instantly, threatening an invasion of their country in the event of a refusal ; but this threat seems to have had no effect on the Mainotes, as they are said to have defeated the Pacha at Armino and at Nissi. It is also stated that the Seraskier had sustained a defeat in Livadia. The .Journal des Debats published from a Minis terial paper, a most extraordinary article, professing to give the disCussions which took place'at the Grand Council held in Madrid on the question of the steps to be taken against Portugal, .in consequence of the establishment of the Constitutional Charter. The Mi iiisteiiOf PERI) / ND, one acid all, paint in hideous, but, we have no doubt, faithful colours, the, wretched state of Spain in its finance and ,credit--its Army, its Navy, Courts of Justice, and national feeling ; ond the result of this melancholy recital seems to have been' to induce the Council to postpone; at all events, their previous intention of declaring war against Portugal. The condition of 'Spain is the most frightful proOf ever exhibited of the effects of had Government ; and it. is only to, be wondered at that the very forms and functions of Government can be carried on at all, when the destruction of 'its revenue and credit has been so . complete. 29.—.
